hendr1x Posted December 27, 2022 Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 I'm stuck. My water naturally has a TA for 40. I bring it up with baking soda to 100-140. However this causes my ph to spike...when I try to lower it with PH Down (sodium bisulfate) it brings down my TA With it. I'm not clear what exactly I am suppose to do in the situation. I assume I just have to accept a low TA level? Thanks for any help you can provide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashmer Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 I keep my pH around 60 to limit how quickly the pH goes up while using the dichlor then bleach method for sanitation. With bromine you will have less of a problem with pH running upward so you should be higher than 60. I would try 80 for your TA and monitor the pH. If you find the pH is still low after aeration, try increasing the TA 5 ppm at a time until your ph stays in the the mid-7.x range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
